This gallery collects my cels and sketch sets from this powerful series finale, a fitting conclusion to this great anime and one of the finest episodes from any series in the estimation of anyone who has seen it. (No thanks to its American licensor, Synch-Point, which suspended release of the series after Step 13!)

Caution! Spoilers abound! I've put all the descriptions below the images for people who want to see the cels without reading the narrative context. But the images tell the story in itself. Fortunately, it's so good an episode that you can watch it repeatedly for its own sake, even after you know how it turns out.
